We are thrilled to welcome Circuit Playground in the codebender family!

Manufactured by Adafruit in New York, NY USA! Circuit Playground is an all-in-one board ideal for people who already have a little experience with Arduino and need a means to build and document their projects fast.

Introduction

In this tutorial we will use the Adafruit TSL2561 sensor to measure LUX with Arduino.

The TSL2561 luminosity sensor is an advanced digital light sensor, ideal for use in a wide range of light situations. Compared to low cost CdS cells, this sensor is more precise, allowing for exact lux calculations and can be configured for different gain/timing ranges to detect light ranges from up to 0.1 – 40,000+ Lux on the fly.

In this tutorial you will learn how to use the Adafruit Flora board and how you can easily program it with Codebender!

FLORA is Adafruit’s fully-featured wearable electronics platform. It’s a round, sewable, Arduino-compatible microcontroller designed to empower amazing wearables projects. The FLORA family also has the best stainless steel threads, sensors, GPS modules and chainable LED NeoPixels, all are wearable!

Introduction

In this tutorial you will learn how to use the Adafruit Trinket board and how you can easily program it with Codebender!

This tiny board is using the ATtiny85 microcontroller and it has 8K of flash memory, 5 I/O pins (including analog inputs and PWM outputs) and a USB connection (mini-USB). It can powered up by usb cable or external battery.
